Dreams Come A Size Too Big

This past weekend I was doing my weekly purge (taking one section of my place and getting rid of everything I don't need!) when I opened a notebook I had been using two years ago. I opened the cover and on the inside was this post-it note:

I sat there and stared at it for a full five minutes. Last Monday I started this journey with Touch of Ambition wanting to inspire women and help them to fulfill their dreams which in turn is fulfilling mine. I love seeing happy people, fulfilled people which is why I want to be a life coach and be an entrepreneur myself.

Apparently, I already knew what I wanted to do two years ago - but why didn't I do it?!

That's what made me sit there in awe. I knew what I wanted to do, what I was meant to do, but two years ago I was no where near ready to help anyone else. I was fresh out of college working at an advertising agency and gaining my own life experiences. There is no way I could have helped anyone else or had the knowledge to. This spring will mark three fulls years post college and honestly I have learned so much. I learned so much in fact, that I have been taking on clients (one small dream come true!) and helping them grow their own businesses. I have worked at an advertising agency and now a fortune 500 publishing company, I have coordinated a major fundraising event and I am now on the board for an entire city's school board. There is no way I would have been ready to take on my dream a few years ago.

Although we always want things now, sometimes it is best to prepare ourselves so that when we are fully ready we can take the world by storm!
